Glasgow is home to a variety of exceptional care homes, from luxurious settings with hotel-style facilities to those offering daily personal care and specialist care for conditions like Parkinson’s and dementia. These homes are found in central neighbourhoods and quieter suburban areas, and there are options to suit various budgets.
Many care homes in Glasgow, such as Four Hills, which is managed by Barchester Healthcare, include en-suite rooms, sensory gardens, and dementia-friendly design elements. Regular activities such as music therapy, arts and crafts, and celebrations for Burns Night, Christmas, and other special occasions bring joy to daily life.
Each home listed on Lottie is regulated by the Care Inspectorate and has been thoroughly reviewed by our in-house Care Experts. This ensures you can trust the safety, quality and everyday support provided by each home.
Glasgow’s care homes benefit from strong links with nearby hospitals like Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Homes in popular areas like Bearsden, Pollokshields and Newton Mearns are particularly sought after for their quiet surroundings and sense of community.
At Lottie, we understand that finding the right care can be emotional and complex. We provide compassionate support to help you make the right choice. If you aren’t sure where to begin, our friendly and knowledgeable Care Experts are here to guide you through the process - from understanding weekly fees (which are around £1,200 to £1,300 in Glasgow) to shortlisting care homes that suit your requirements.
Four Hills - This home provides 24/7 nursing care in the north of Glasgow. The dedicated care team looks after every resident on an individual basis. Four Hills has four separate units, each with shared lounges and quiet areas. This home also has a brilliant location, just a stone’s throw away from the city centre and the bustling West End.
Milngavie Manor - A high standard of care and luxurious living are offered. During the home's most recent Care Inspectorate review, Milngavie Manor scored 4 (Good) in two categories and 5 (Very Good) in three others. First-class residential, nursing and dementia care are all available here.

From the elegant café where your loved one can enjoy a hot drink and the manicured gardens, which are perfect for an afternoon stroll, to the beauty salon where residents are pampered, there’s lots to see and do here.
